"I'm still grieving, I'm still hurting, but I can still put something out there to help other people. I can still include other people in my journey and hope that it helps them in their journey." —Leanne Davidson Grief after losing a child doesn't wait for you to be ready — and neither did Leanne Davidson's. In this episode of Live, Love, Survive, Thrive, host Dr. Kimberly Hubenette sits down with author and grief mentor Leanne Davidson, a retired teacher of 25 years who lost her son Michael to a drug overdose in 2022 after his long struggle with addiction. Leanne opens up about the raw, unedited questions she asked God in the days after his death, and how a private journal turned into two published books and a growing grief ministry. This conversation goes beyond the surface of "healing takes time." Leanne talks candidly about mothering her surviving son through his own grief while carrying her own, the practical chaos that follows a death — banks, belongings, paperwork — and why she believes those logistical moments are where friends and family can offer the most concrete help. She also shares how her Christian faith shaped her devotional Tattered Hearts and Hopeful Souls and her forthcoming book, Mending Hearts and Anchored Souls. This episode is for anyone grieving a child, supporting a friend through loss, or navigating grief and addiction in their own family. • Leanne started writing about her grief roughly four months after Michael's death, and the entries she wrote to process her own pain became the foundation of her first book. • The most useful thing you can do for someone newly grieving is handle a concrete task with them — going to the bank, sorting belongings — because early grief makes logistics nearly impossible to face alone. • Losing a child creates two griefs at once for a parent: mourning the child and watching your other children grieve alongside you. • Leanne's devotional, Tattered Hearts and Hopeful Souls, was built around the specific emotions of grief — loneliness, guilt, anger, and questioning. • Surviving isn't the same as thriving; Leanne defines thriving as living out a purpose of love even while grief is still present. Leanne's message to grieving mothers is simple and direct: you are not alone, and there are others ready to support you.
